On Lac La Belle

The wedding I was at this weekend was located on Lac La Belle which is a kettle lake formed by retreating glaciers eons ago. The yellow lotus were just starting to bloom and this was the most open bud. A blue damsel fly landed on the lily pad next to the bud and I took the shot at that moment. Here is some additional information on this lake from the Wisconsin Natural Resources Department. "Lac La Belle is a shallow kettle 1154 acre lake located in Oconomowoc, Waukesha County Wisconsin. It has a maximum depth of 45 feet and an average depth of 11 feet. Fish include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The lake's water is very clear." And this color has had no enhancement.

It certainly is beautiful water and lovely photo Kathy. I'll bet you can find an occasional frog surfing on those lily pads.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

The blue of the water with the contrast of yellow is very striking.

Kathy think to see that even the damselfly is enjoying the beauty of the lotus bud, but I suppose it has forgotten its camera, lol. Like to join Sandi's comment about the striking contrast.

Regards, Cornelius.

LOL So this is how it is to invite a photographer to a wedding party - she grabs the camera and runs to the lake to catch flying damsels landing on water lilies! Great colours, Kathy, would provide full excuse for anyone who just wanted to escape sitting long hours behind the table:)
Lovely and instructive image, dear friend.

That damselfly better look out for frogs with sticky tongues! That water sure is a pretty blue! Great looking shot, Kathy.
